I know everyone is different... But how much weight did you lose in the first month? Please do not include your preop diet weight loss :thumbup:

lol join the club! I can't stand it and I know I need to! I am much more active now (well ok active for a person who weighs over 300 lbs!) and if I could just get my knee to stop hurting I think I could do even more.

Dont feel bad Spendi.. I haven't been exercising much lately either :thumbup: Its that time of the year where the weathers yukky and no one feels like doing anything.

I was banded 6/10/08. I lost 24 pounds the first month plus I had lost 15 pounds preop. So I was down 39 pounds. Its been 5 months now and I've lost 66.

I lost 11 pounds on the pre-op and had lost 15 prior. I have severe arthritis in my knees. My knees finally stopped throbbing so much. They are still a bit stiff, but not nearly as painful They used to wake me at night and I could barely walk (spine still makes that difficult). So, there is hope in sight for you soon I bet!! I weigh 237 now and I get banded tomorrow!!! I can't sleep!

I lost 29 lbs the first month with no pre op diet. Total since May 19th so far is 75 lbs. I love my band Looosssiiieee!!!

I'm on my 3rd day (banded on Friday) and I've lost 13 lbs so far. I'm only drinking 60 mls of grape juice every hour, so I guess it's only right that I lose something. I don't know how long it'll go on, but we'll see.

I lost about 16 to 17 pounds the first month but did keep it off. However, month two was definite plateau, no loss and no gain. After that it was in fits and starts throughout banding but most of my lost occurred in the first eight months of banding. I am losing very, very, extremely slow now . . . but still not gaining for which I am very happy.

Thats awesome Heather You only have 1 pound to go now!! I would be running non stop will it was gone haha

I was at one month day before yesterday. I have lost 23 pounds since the surgery, and 15 pounds on the preop diet.

I am only able to eat about 6 ounces at a time.

Only on day 12 post op, but I think I've already lost about 12 to 15 lbs. I am still on full liquids, but I have been walking...A LOT! Since I came back from the hospital I've been walking everyday. Started slow 10min once or twice a day. Now I'm already up to 25-30 min a day and keep adding a couple min every 2-3 days. Go in for my 1st post op visit next week then I'll post actual, but I pretty sure it's about 12-15 so far.

The first week alone I lost 13lbs just on liquids.....can't be exactly sure but I think I was around 20lbs down after one month.

I just checked this morning and it's 2 days away from a month (banded 10/10). I've lost 15 lbs.

I haven't had a fill yet but do still feel some restriction (seems to come and go) and I'm pretty mindful about what I stick in my mouth. The fact that I spent so much money is a pretty motivating factor when I think about going overboard with food.

I haven't been able to bring myself to get on the torcherous treadmill yet though and that would probably help accelerate the process. God I hate exercising. :cursing:

at my 1 wk post op check up I had lost 3lbs and then I had my first fill 3 wks after my surgery and I had lost a total of 10 lbs

I am 3 weeks out from surgery and down 18 lbs so far.

I will not know actual 1 month, but went for my first post op visit today and after 20 days I have lost 18lbs. I also lost 9 on the preop so that gives me a total of 27 in 6 weeks.

I had my surgery on Oct 19. I weighed 277lbs then. Today, 10 days post-surgery, my bathroom scale reads .... drum roll please....260lbs.

I am very skeptical... and since I have an appt. with my surgeon tomorrow, I'll wait for him to confirm it.

I started my "mushy" period on Tuesday and all I have been eating is oatmeal in the morning and homemade bean Soup (Goya) for lunch and dinner. I ran it by my dietitian and she approved it because of the Protein in the bean.
